Chapter 53: The Comer Is Not Good
Today, Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong's warship is very busy, and there are always people visiting.
Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong hadn't figured out the mystery of the treasure map in which Li Jian apologized, but Li Jian himself had already arrived at the fleet.
Li Jian had been waiting before, and when the rain stopped, he began to act.
The crew came to report, saying that Li Jian and the others were waiting under the warship and wanted to see the captain and first mate.
Suddenly, Bai Sha and Li Jian were not prepared at all.
Bai Sha took a deep breath, looked at Zheng Zhilong and said: "It's such a coincidence that the time to come, it's okay, instead of trying to break your head and not think of the other party's intentions, it's better to let the other party say it, and just let them board the boat and talk in detail, what do you think?" ”
Zheng Zhilong nodded, but he was still a little worried and said, "Baisha, Ergou is still rubbing the treasure map on the ship." ”
Bai Sha thought for a while and said, "Take one step at a time, maybe he sincerely wants to send us this picture." ”
It was not a way to let others wait under the boat, so Bai Sha ordered the crew to bring Li Jian and the others up.
After a while, Li Jian and the white-bearded old man entered the room.
Li Jian had already given such a valuable gift first, and Bai Sha naturally would not neglect this guest. Bai Sha personally got up to greet him, and asked you to make tea and prepare it for the two distinguished guests.
Li Jian was still the same, his clothes were still rich and compelling, and he sat down peacefully after putting on his somewhat crooked golden hat, and then put the fan in his hand on the table.
Bai Sha picked up the tea and said, "I have received the gift from Brother Li, thank you." In broad daylight, I replaced wine with tea and toasted Brother Li with a cup of tea. ”
Li Jian was also easy-going, holding a teacup and drinking tea in return, looking polite.
The white-bearded old man neither sat down nor drank tea, but stood quietly behind Li Jian, not smiling.
Zheng Zhilong was the captain, but at the moment he sat quietly beside Baisha and did not speak. As for Li Kuiqi and Niu Xiaohua, they sat relatively far away from the round table, secretly observing the situation.
Niu Xiaohua would look at Li Jian from time to time, he always felt that he had seen Li Jian from somewhere, but he just couldn't remember it.
After Li Jian and Bai Sha exchanged pleasantries, they turned their heads and said, "Niu Xiaohua and Li Kuiqi, the two captains, are also on the boat?" I'm curious about what your relationship is with the two captains, Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong. ”
Li Jian didn't seem to be able to distinguish the identities of Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong, and they were all called captains.
Neither Li Kuiqi nor Niu Xiaohua answered Li Jian's question, because Bai Sha would answer.
Bai Sha said with a smile: "Brother Li doesn't know, we sail on the sea, there are many people and there is great strength, and we can be regarded as doing business with Captain Li and Captain Niu in this transaction." ”
Li Jian suddenly realized, "So that's the case." However, I heard that the previous captain of this fleet was called Li Xu. ”
Bai Sha said with a smile: "Brother Li doesn't know that the former captain Li Xu was killed by his cousin Li Xian. ”
"I see." Li Jian said again.
While Bai Sha was talking to Li Jian, he kept looking at the white-bearded old man behind him.
The white-bearded old man was calm and relaxed, his eyes stared at one place intently, and he pretended not to see the white sand.
Li Jian didn't take the initiative to talk about the treasure map, and Bai Sha didn't take the initiative to mention it.
The room where Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong were was nothing special, but Li Jian still got up and walked around the room a few times. Bai Sha didn't stop Li Jian's arrogant behavior, and wanted to see what tricks the other party wanted to play.
Li Jian sat down again and said slowly: "The two captains are the big people who defeated the Wind Thunder Hall, and they have admired them for a long time, and they came to visit today and gave them gifts, in fact, they just want to make friends with the two of them." ”
There are friends from afar, and they are happy.
Bai Sha smiled on the surface, but he couldn't be happy in his heart. He was not afraid of Li Jian, but afraid of the white-bearded old man behind him, and the more calm Bai Sha the other party was, the more unfathomable he felt.
After all, Li Jian turned the topic to the treasure map.
After taking a sip of fragrant tea, Li Jian squinted his eyes at Bai Sha and said slowly: "Two captains, do you know why I willingly gave up the treasure map." ”
Bai Sha didn't try to guess what the other party thought, but shook his head and listened.
Li Jian suddenly laughed wildly: "Because I'm not rare, it's just a mutilated treasure map, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”
Bai Sha didn't know if Li Jian knew the authenticity of the treasure map, "Brother Li is a bold person, he can treat money as dung, this kind of realm is really a model for my generation, Brother Li, this friend I Bai Sha has made." ”
Stone money is dung, and Li Jian's luxurious dress is the greatest irony.
Li Jian took Bai Sha's words and said with a smile: "Captain Bai can be willing to make me a friend, and today is not in vain." But being a friend is expensive, I am willing to give the treasure map to a friend, I wonder if Captain Bai is willing to make friends with Zaixia? ”
Bai Sha didn't answer Li Jian's question immediately, but said: "Brother Li, don't call me Captain Bai in the future, my identity is the first mate of this fleet, and the captain is the one next to me, Zheng Zhilong." ”
After listening to Bai Sha's explanation, Li Jian quickly picked up the teacup and apologized to Zheng Zhilong, claiming that it was a misunderstanding.
Zheng Zhilong naturally won't pursue this kind of trivial matter, the captain is an identity that everyone knows, how could Li Jian not know, it's just to confuse the public, Zheng Zhilong was mentioned, and he had to say a few words.
Zheng Zhilong has now developed a habit, if the people together are all members of the fleet, he will show his true face, if there are strangers or going out to do errands, he will wear a mask, and the current Zheng Zhilong is wearing a mask.
Zheng Zhilong accepted Li Jian's apology and said slowly: "Brother Li may also know about our identity and status, but we don't know much about Brother Li, so Brother Li still introduces himself." ”
Li Jian couldn't see Zheng Zhilong's appearance clearly, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from you, brothers, I grew up in Luzon, and I went out to this island this time just to see the world and broaden my horizons. This is my master, this time he accompanied me out to practice, he is a master, very powerful. ”
It stands to reason that a person who grew up in Luzon and is richly dressed should also be a big family with a head and face in Luzon, but the other party is reluctant to reveal Baisha and it is not easy to ask.
Niu Xiaohua turned the iron ball and asked: "This little brother, I have been to and from Luzon a lot of times, the little brother should be after the big family, I am also familiar with the major families in Luzon, I don't know which big family the little brother is the descendant of?" ”
Li Jian turned to look at Niu Xiaohua, and said with a sneer: "Today I made friends with First Officer Bai and Captain Zheng, when will it be your turn to ask this and that, are you worthy?" ”
Niu Xiaohua was furious, and two iron balls smashed on the table and stood up.
At this moment, the white-bearded old man frowned.
Li Jian hurriedly came to the old man's side and said softly: "Master dissipates his anger, don't be like him." ”
Bai Sha also motioned to Niu Xiaohua to sit down and not act impulsively.
After calming the old man with the beard of the white snake, Li Jian glanced at Niu Xiaohua, his eyes were very cold.
A hint of coolness flashed in Niu Xiaohua's heart......
Li Kuiqi, who had not spoken, secretly observed Li Jian, Li Kuiqi can be regarded as knowing countless people, and it can be seen that Li Jian must have some purpose for coming here today, but not simply to make friends.
Li Kuiqi said half-jokingly: "This little brother, the treasure map is given out just to call a friend, if the friend can't do it, will he take back the gift he gave?" ”
Li Jian laughed, "Blackbeard Li Kuiqi, I know you." ”
"I'm here to make friends, not to do business, Captain Blackbeard has underestimated me, and what I Li Jian sent out will definitely not be taken back, besides, my friends with the two captains should have done it."
Li Jian sat down again and said, "Let's go back to the topic, be friends, can we make friends?" ”
Bai Sha knew that the other party would express his high opinions next, so he didn't hide it at the moment, and said bluntly: "Brother Li has a good saying, be a friend, you call your heart, if Brother Li has anything to ask, Bai Sha will know everything." ”
Li Jian smiled heartily: "Just wait for Brother Bai's words!" ”
Li Jian lowered his body, leaned on the round table and asked, "Brother Bai, I know something and want to come to verify it." Is there a treasure map hidden in your fleet? ”
The room was quiet.
Bai Sha was still smiling, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
"Our fleet does have a treasure map, isn't it the gift that Brother Li just gave?" Bai Sha said calmly.
Li Jian just sneered and continued: "Brother Bai, this is your mistake, you know that I am referring to another treasure map. However, as we said earlier, I believe that what you said is true. But I also heard one thing, that is, someone in your fleet buys rubbing materials and prints treasure maps on the ship without permission, I don't know if this thing is true or not? ”
Bai Sha's expression finally changed, and the matter had come to this point, presumably the other party knew the truth.
Li Jian didn't stop, pointed to the direction of the room where Ergou was, and said, "I think the place where the rubbing is the room in this direction, and the crew of the rubbing should be called Ergou." ”
Zheng Zhilong's face twitched under the mask, and he couldn't help but make a move. Anyone else who knows this secret must die.
Only the dead can be kept secret forever.
If Li Jian is allowed to leave, once the news is revealed, it will really be a cliff, and there will be no chance to turn over.
Bai Sha pressed Zheng Zhilong's hand and said, "Brother Li, you know so many secrets, just hide them in your heart, why do you still come to ask us?" ”
Li Jian laughed, and his laughter was very cold.
"I think Brother Bai misunderstood, I just want to make a friend." After Li Jian finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Zhilong and said, "Let me guess, this Zheng brother wants to kill people, I hope my guess is wrong." ”
Li Kuiqi and Niu Xiaohua didn't dare to make any movement, and Li Qiaoer also stopped and continued to serve tea and water.
The atmosphere inside the room was eerie.
